First, Im new to the forum, but have several years, mainly Whites machines, and the only multi tone machine Ive used was a M6.
I am having troubles finding a good signal due to iron false tones.
I hunt mainly old house sites. Biggest trash is iron in the ground, Im sure most of you have been there.
I know how to work a signal from previous experience, walk around and try and get a good signal from several directions, raising coil to see if it is something large, crushed aluminum can, or can slaw, etc.
It really eats my time up, seems each swing i get numerous high tones, and have to check each out.
I have used the stock coin program, with pretty much factory settings, I have change a couple things, but still same results as far as false issues.
I also have used TTF with a nail disc pattern. Pretty much, with my other machines, I always use just enough disc to knock out nails at these sites.
So, how do you guys deal with this, I feel you have and still experience this. Are you using much discrimination?? Dropping your gain ( I keep mine at 24 for now). Reducing sensitivity
And I have dug many of these signals, to find a large nail, small, or piece of one or other odd rusty iron.
Like I said, I still do not have many hours on the machine, and just was curious if any of you could shed some light on how you handle these high pitch signals.
Thanks again,
Gator
